A boat is one with a full load displacement of less than 500 tons, and a ship is one with a full load displacement of more than 500 tons. The 1241 type that Xia Yu bought this time has a full load of only 469 tons, which strictly adheres to the concept of a boat.
However, the FPB-62 type he ordered from Leshun kept jumping between boats and ships. In the 1990s, the big client Desert Dog customized the Murray Gib class based on the FPB-62 type from Leshun, which can be regarded as a model of a small horse pulling a big cart among missile boats.
Why do I say that? Because this small ship of several hundred tons is equipped with a 76mm naval gun, a 7-barrel 30mm close-in defense system, and two GAU-19 three-barrel 12.7mm machine guns.
This is its own defense. The active defense is two sets of quadruple-mounted Exocet Block II anti-ship missiles and one set of eight-mounted Sidewinder air defense missiles. It can be said to be integrated sea and air, and its firepower is more powerful than that of some destroyers.
The most outrageous thing is that such a small boat is equipped with a helicopter lift platform. If the 1241 type is a self-built house in the countryside, then the FPB-62 type is truly a luxurious mansion.
That's right, it's better to use it now than to build it now. According to Leshun, delivery will take at least two years.
During these two years, the apparent safety of Kana Island will still have to be entrusted to the Type 1241.
Two months later, when two Type 1241s were towed to Kana Island, he organized the Osmium maids to go on board and learn, so that the experience would be more authentic.
However, Xia Yu's obsession with torpedoes remains, just as battleships have been ruthlessly eliminated by the times, giant ships and cannons are still men's romance.
Sherov confirmed again.
The Blizzard torpedo, the former Union's black technology, uses supercavitation technology to allow the torpedo's attack speed to reach a terrifying 200 knots, which means it can travel 100 meters per second. It can be said to be the fastest torpedo in the world.
"Yes, don't you have any goods?"
"Mr. Sherlock, you don't need to question my professionalism. It's just that the quantity you requested is a bit large, and we need time to produce and raise funds."
Compared to buying a car, buying these conventional home defense weapons is really too cheap. He didn't even spend all of his sign-in salary for today, and only contributed a pitiful few tens of millions of experience points.
The big winner is still Leshun. A new ship is definitely more expensive than a second-hand one. In addition, it has the latest top-level configuration, which directly killed several small targets.
This money is well spent. After all, these days, if you store food but not guns, your home will be a granary; if you store guns but not food, everywhere will be a granary. The world outside is indeed quite dangerous.
"Then Sherov, I'll be waiting for your good news."
Xia Yu patted the burly man's shoulder. This guy was in his forties and might have been an elite Russian in his time.
This is just a small episode in Xia Yu's life. He is still a peace-loving person. It is best not to use the things he bought this time except for setting off fireworks and frying fish.
With the hit of "Death on Mars", the hot July has arrived as scheduled, and the plum rain season has ended and summer has arrived, and the scorching heat is unbearable.
Xia Yu felt very comfortable staying in the air-conditioned library. He had wanted to take Xiao Jiang out to enjoy some time on the weekend, but she was leading her team abroad to participate in some international medical equipment expo to promote Xia Biological's human cryopreservation prototype.
The senior student hasn't come back yet, so he is alone for the time being.
It's quite nice to stay at home alone. You can stay in the library to read and study during the day, and relax and have fun. At night, you can go directly back to the main house through the underground passage. You can live a very free and easy life without going out of the front door or the back door.
This was the life until July 13, when Shelov called to say that the goods were ready and would be delivered to the designated sea area in three days.
That’s great! He was just feeling bored, and now he has something to do!
Xia Yu found Feng Manxue and asked her how things were going.
"Everything is going smoothly. The staff are currently undergoing training and will be able to officially start work on the island in September."
Feng Manxue was talking about the recruitment of personnel. In the past two years, the island has gradually become short of manpower, and about 10 maids have resigned and returned home to prepare to get married and have children.
Of course, a confidentiality agreement must be signed regarding matters on the island. As a good employer who treats employees as friends, Xia Yu asked Feng Manxue to keep in touch with these former employees. If they give birth to girls in the future, they will be given priority for admission on the island.
Life is very long, even a short hundred years, and it is also very long. During these hundred years, several generations of people grow up slowly and grow old slowly.
Assuming a complete rotation of one batch every five or six years, Kana Island still has a great demand for maids, and this method can provide a stable candidate.
Maybe one day, robots can completely replace human labor, but Xia Yu still likes these real people and is willing to give them a stable job.
This recruitment was to address the shortage of employees on the island. Xia Yu asked Feng Manxue to recruit another 100 people to fill the gap left by the existing employees who were transferred to form a defense force.
Both Type 1241s require manpower, as well as his U-2526. The automated modification is only auxiliary, and human control is still required at critical moments.
"Arrange a flight. We need to go back to Kana Island and stay there for a while."
Xia Yu made arrangements and planned to come back in August.
No, he can bring his parents with him. Isn’t it better to enjoy the sea breeze on the island than to bask in the sun at home?
"Dad, I bought some new stuff for the island. Why don't you take Mom back to see it?"
Xia Yu called Lao Xia.
"Another plane? We already have enough planes. Even if you have money, you should spend it wisely!"
"No, it's swimming in the sea. I guarantee you'll be satisfied when you see it. It's been a while since we've seen each other. Let's go back to the island and stay for two days."
"Okay, then I'll tell your mom. She misses you too."
After finalizing the matter, Xia Yu arranged for a helicopter to pick them up and brought the two elders home that night.
